Meet Female Fitness Specialist Emma Dowling

Emma Dowling joins Dominique Mc Mullan in this episode of The Wellness Project Podcast to discuss the importance of strength training for women and how giving yourself that time and space for your physical health will create positive changes in all areas of your life.

Emma created Empowered Mama back in 2017 when she became a mum to little Jacob and realised the lack of research-backed, accurate information that was readily available for mamas who wanted to return to exercise, sports or just get back to feeling strong and stable post pregnancy.

Since then, she has branched out and is now expanding to other areas of fitness and well-being, bringing to you, Empowered Movement.
